## Clone Your Linode

1. Log in to the [Linode Manager](https://manager.linode.com).
2. Select the **Linodes** tab to list your active Linodes.
3. Click on the Linode you wish to clone. This will load its Dashboard.
4. **Recommended:** Click **Shut down** to power down the Linode. This is recommended to prevent data corruption.
5. Click the **Clone** tab to select the disks or configuration profiles you wish to clone. If you select a configuration profile, all of the disks attached to it will be included automatically. You can confirm this from the *Disks Attached* column.
